Developer Resources

GEOLocate based web services for
georeferencing were introduced in 2005. These services
enable software developers to integrate georeferencing
directly in their databases and applications. The Specify
6 collections management application is one such
application utilizing these services to give its users
direct access to georeferencing without having to export & import
data or run additional software.

Use our webservices to provide georeferencing capabilities in your own
applications. You can obtain a current listing of
our available services here.

A streamlined web client for the purpose of embedding the GEOLocate web client
UI in other web applications.Sample link of how an external application on another domain might use this client.
Documentation link on how to craft URLs for this client.

A service that lets you validate the results of georeferencing for a locality description by comparing the resulting latitude and longitude to polygons of co-occurrence for a list of input taxa (ideally the taxon list collected at the target locality).

If you need help using these services, would like to contribute to this project or have developed an application utilizing any of these services and would
like your application listed on this site, please contact: nrios@tulane.edu
